'View' Hosts Gets Visibly Angry as Their Trap for JD Vance Backfires

23:12So if anyone had believed that there was a genocide or any of this other nonsense, those Jews are just being mean to those Palestinians. Sure, they've got a couple of their women and children underground and everything else. CZ could have opened up that border. Notice nobody that purports to care about the Palestinians, whether it's the lunatics on the street in New York or Sisi himself or any of the Democrat politicians that are constantly rallying against Israel. Nobody said, hey, could you just open that door? Nobody's in Sinai, we'll throw a couple tents there. So that's a slight sidebar, but it is what it is.

23:42Here's JD talking about this rumor about the 300 billion that could end up going to Iran. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said yesterday, you are the architect of this deal. So let's walk through some of this. The Iranians are saying that they're gonna have access to a$300 billion reconstruction fund. true or false?

24:00JD Vance:Well, Ed, that's the sort of thing they could have access to, funded by the Gulf Coast Coalition, so long as they honor their end of the obligation. I think that one of the things you're going to see, Ed, and people have to be skeptical of this, is that the hardliners in the Iranian system will overemphasize the benefits that Iran gets while underemphasizing all the things that they have to concede and all the things they have to provide in order to get these benefits. So we We absolutely are open to the Gulf Coast countries investing in the reconstruction of Iran, but only if Iran ends their nuclear program, ends their enriched stockpile of material, and is really open to an inspections and enforcement regime that gives the American people confidence they're never going to have a nuclear weapon.

24:45Yeah, again, this is where JD is good, right? He just, he can explain things in a really kind of simple way. And he's of course right. If you're a hardliner in Iran, you've got to sell it to your people. like we won and the great Satan is off our back and we gotta sell all the things and not really emphasize the things that Iran is going to have to do. And you could make the same argument for America. Trump has to sell and JD has to sell all of the ways that this is good for America and not that we made any concessions or we didn't take the Iranian oil, which Trump said maybe he was gonna do and get Karg Island and all that stuff.

25:14So there's optics around all of this. But again, the 300 billion or whatever it is that the Gulf states or even the US might put into Iran, well, if Iran really, if they really realize, boy, you know, all the leadership's gone, we lost Ayatollah, our Navy's on the bottom of the thing, like this isn't gonna work anymore. Then maybe, and then they're like, and we can get some cash if we just kind of behave in the world community a little bit better, stop bombing our neighbors and everything else. Then I would argue it's probably worth it. Now, again, we have to see where some of that shakes out.

25:48Here's Vance pushing back on the idea that the Iran deal that we have now, which again is still coming in and it's just a memorandum of understanding, that it's the same, in essence, the same deal that Obama had before this. Obama took a shot and said, I don't think this deal is any better than the deal we had before. The JCPOA was dramatically different than what you were describing here tonight.

26:11JD Vance:And I'd ask the president, the former president, I'd say, Obama, why in the world, if it's the same thing, why is it that the Gulf Arabs hated your deal and they love our deal? They are the ones who are in the region. They know what it means to enrich the worst terrorist regime in the world. And they also know what it means to turn over a new leaf and to go to a different future. So I think President Obama, he should acknowledge that the people who are closest to this, they love the Trump deal. They hate the Obama deal. And that's maybe the biggest endorsement of this plan? Okay, so that part, I don't know that that's true.

26:48Like, we'll have to find out more from the Gulf states. Like, are they thrilled right now? I'm not totally sure. Did a lot of them actually want the regime to fall apart completely and everything else? I think that's fairly, the answer to that is obviously yes, right? The regime is the one that was firing rockets into their backyard. But again, this is where I just think the administration deserves a little bit of trust. So I'll go with you on that, JD. It's like, all right, if you're telling me that the The Gulf states are basically happy about this. And that again, it only matters while Trump's in office and maybe a Republican after that.

27:20Because the Democrats, not that the Democrats will rip up a deal, Democrats would be thrilled to make sure that the hardline regime has a bomb. Like that's just kind of how it is. There will be no enforcement under a Democrat, under a Democrat administration. Just, we all know that. Like that's what the JCPOA was, right? Like you don't have to really do anything. Just tell us. Tell us that you're not having nukes and we'll just trust you. Here's Scott Jennings, I think, making the point that at the end of the day, if they don't get a nuke, this was all worth it. My view of the Iranians is this.

27:54A, I don't like the idea of them having any financial relief because they take money and then they put it into terrorism. Number two, I don't think you can trust the Iranians. Number three, I don't think an Iranian signature is worth all that much. The one and only thing that I've ever wanted out of any of this was that they cannot have or ever get a nuclear weapon. That's been the president's top objective. I trust the president on that. And I know that's what he wants out of the deal. If we end up doing things, though, that on the back end enable them to do any kind of rebuilding of any terror network or any ability to terrorize us or anyone else, I would not be happy.

28:29Yeah, that's right. That's right. Like, again, what did he say? Trust. You kind of have to trust at this point, I think, I don't see an alternative to it, that Trump basically knows what he's doing, that he's not getting steamrolled here. So Jennings and I will take the same, it's not that you should blind trust any politician, including Trump, but he got us this far. You know, I think Trump is also, you have to understand, Trump is also looking at July 4th rolling around. I've been talking about this resurgence of patriotism. We'll talk about what happened this past weekend in just a moment. He wants gas prices to go down before the midterms.

29:01It seems like there are domestic political reasons that you wanna push forward on something. So Trump is not perfect, no politician is, but I think he's worthy of some degree of our trust here. And then as Jennings points out, if any money starts flowing in, and then suddenly we're like, boy, well they are throwing that money over to Hezbollah and Lebanon, which is occupying Lebanon. I mean, it's basically an alternate government in Lebanon, not the Lebanese government, in a country that 30 years ago was Christian majority, that's now Muslim majority, and people want them out, including the Lebanese president, who was just saying that a week ago, if they start giving them money, if they start funding the Houthis, if they start rebuilding the ballistic missile program, well then, at least while Trump is in office, I think there would be some degree of people being like, all right, this isn't gonna stand.

29:45Again, what happens with Democrats is a whole other thing. All right, let's put Iran there for a second. We'll talk about some positive America vibes in just a second, but first, Angel Studios. Guys, in a world where everything seems to cost more and deliver less, Angel's doing something pretty special for America's 250th birthday. Right now, you can become a premium Angel Guild member for just$15 a month, that's normally 20 bucks, with that price locked in for the entire year. And here's what you get. Two free tickets to see Young Washington in theaters this Independence Day, access to Angel's entire streaming library, and tickets to every future Angel theatrical release.

30:20So if you're planning to see Young Washington anyway, you're already coming out ahead. And I think Young Washington's exactly the kind of movie that's worth supporting. It's the story of George Washington before he became president. It's about a young man facing failure, uncertainty, and enormous challenges before becoming one of the most important figures in American history. I'm going to take the whole team. What's refreshing is that the film isn't interested in apologizing for America's existence. It's interested in understanding the people and ideas that helped build it. And beyond Young Washington, you'll get access to Angel's entire streaming library, including films like Homestead, Green, and Gold, The Last Rodeo, something to stand for with Mike Rowe, and an upcoming theatrical slate that's incredibly impressive.

30:58If you're looking for meaningful ways to celebrate America's 250th, this is a great place to start. Go to angel.com slash Ruben and become a premium guild member today. Angel.com slash premium. All right. No, slash Ruben, slash Ruben. Sorry. I'm not even on the drugs, and the mind is a little muddled. I'm feeling it, guys. Okay. Okay, so America had its 250th, our first 250th event at the White House over the weekend. I know I'm a day or two late on this because I wasn't in studio the last couple of days, but I hope you can bear with me. I think it's worth recapping some of what happened because it was a great celebration in D.C., a place that's been pretty banged up over the last couple of years.

31:36Trump's done a nice job fixing up. And it was a real beginning, first salvo, let's say, into celebrating our 250th anniversary, which is coming up in about two and a half weeks. here's a jet flyover of the mall during our national anthem.

32:03Yeah, I mean, it's pretty cool. It's pretty cool. And it's like, if the Democrats were in charge right now, would we be celebrating? Would they be, honestly, like, what would the Democrats be doing? And do you think, let's say Kamala was president right now, and she was like, you know, we're gonna do this big 250th celebration, because America's big and concentric circles. Like, who would show up? What Democrats would show up to celebrate this place that was founded in slavery and all of the horrible things they celebrate in America? So it was just a joy to see just a celebration of America. Now, the other thing was that they had a big MMA fight.

32:34We've got some images of some of this. I mean, first off, these two images right there. I mean, it could be the, you know, does Time Magazine or Newsweek do the images of the year, but there's the octagon jets flying over White House in the background. They just redid the reflecting pool outside of the Capitol. I mean, just, it was just a celebration of America. It had nothing to do with whether you're a Republican or a Democrat. Now, basically everyone there was a Republican because if you support America, you're pretty much a Republican now. But then this was pretty cool. Phoenix, what's his last name?

33:05So I pronounce it properly. Justin Gaethje. Justin Gaethje. I'm not a huge MMA guy, a guy, a fighter by the name of Justin Gaethje, an American who was a six to one underdog. He beat the Spanish fighter and you know, Spain's gone pretty commie lately. So this was a little bit of Rocky IV, right? Rocky taking out Drago on Christmas day in Moscow. He was a six to one underdog, but he beat the Spanish fighter. And here is Rogan with a rather short tie asking him his feelings after the fight. You have been waiting for this moment your entire career and to win it in such a spectacular fashion in a fight where you were in some points 6-1 underdog.

33:46How good does this feel? Hey, I'm from America. 250 years ago, we were way bigger than 6-1 dogs. And look at this thriving now to all the current, former, and future military service members. Thank you so much. Thank you so much to all the first responders, the police officers, firefighters, ambulance, EMTs. You guys have no idea how grateful I am. And for as long as I'm able to, I will use my name to make money and support you guys. So it's pretty awesome. The guy at one point was a 6-1 underdog. The fight was under 20 minutes, fourth round. Obviously, he's pretty banged up. Other guy way more banged up in that he's just celebrating America.

34:28That's all it was. Just celebrating America. But what happens when people who are pro-America celebrate America? Well, you get people like this.

34:44I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican. I don't care if you're right or left. I don't care about any of that sh**. If you think anything about this is cool or American or manly, I have to assume that much like anybody associated with the planning and the production of this event, all of the sponsors of this event, Matter of fact, anybody that's even remotely associated with this event, much like all of them, you are so slow I could time you with a f***ing calendar. Nothing about this is cool. Well, you just don't like it because you're liberal and liberal men aren't masculine. Listen here, s***bag.

35:14I lift every day. I've done boxing and jiu-jitsu on and off for years. And I used to watch the UFC pretty religiously until I realized that 90 % of the fighters and a good chunk of the fans are racist, rapists, woman beaters, or right-wing s***bags. So then I stopped. Uh, sir. This is a Wendy's. You're also not supposed to lift every day. You're supposed to lift four days a week, right? Four days a week, three days for rest? Come on. It's ridiculous, guy. But anyway, that one video happened to be going viral. But that sort of, first of all, I guess it was nice to see a Democrat that doesn't have blue hair and a nose ring, and I assume he has his genitals attached to that.

35:47It's a refreshing in a way. But it's just like, you know what? All it was, it was just a celebration of America. But it triggered, it really, I don't like the word trigger, but it really just triggered all of the right people. Here's TMZ's Harvey Levin talking about how the elitists just hate this kind of stuff because it was just people coming together to watch a fight and celebrate the red, white, and blue. The people who are complaining that this is beneath the dignity of the White House are such elitists. It's just shocking to me that every president has held events at the White House. There have been presidents who loved plays, and people have put plays on at the White House.

36:30There has been opera at the White House. There have been great singers at the White House. And the reality is, fighting is part of American culture, like it or not. Millions and millions of people like it. And Donald Trump gave them access to the White House last night with an event that aligns with what goes on in American culture. UFC is huge in America right now. And people loved it. A lot of people didn't, but a lot of people did. And the idea of saying this is beneath the dignity of the White House, I think just speaks to how out of touch people are thinking that, yeah, we can hold events at the White House that are culturally things that I sign off on, but not things I don't.

37:18That is intolerant. Yeah, of course that's right. And look, if it was a Democrat, the Democrats would never do UFC, right? Because the UFC involves a little testosterone. It involves a little like, you know, you gotta go fight and win something yourself. So the Democrats would never do that. But the basic idea of the thing, that you're gonna hold an event outside of the White House. I mean, maybe we do this before every July 4th going forward. This happens to be the big one, 250. But we don't have to wait another 50 years. We don't have to wait another 50 years to celebrate this kind of thing.

37:49Man, I think I was in a UFC. That's what I should be telling people. That sounds better than a bad. Oh, a big guy smashed into me, I fell on my shoulder on the basketball court. No, actually I was fighting Slavo Jemarizak out of Croatia, and well, you don't wanna see him, let's put it that way. But that's the point, is like maybe we do this once a year outside the White House, just have a little extra celebration, and maybe one year it's a UFC fight, it doesn't have to be, I could see why some parent maybe doesn't want it to be a UFC fight, your kid's watching them beat the crap out of each other.

38:18So one year it could be a basketball game, one year, it could be hockey. I mean, there's all sorts. It doesn't even have to be a sporting event. Like you could find somebody, you could do the two legged race with celebrities. I don't know, you find some things to do that would just make us all put aside politics for a second, but you guys do that. But the other part of this, of course, that was crazy, is that all these people that are screaming about this, they didn't scream at all over the four years that Joe Biden was presidency, where there was a constant series of completely ridiculous circuses happening at the White House.

38:47The libs of TikTok put this up. Trump is making a mockery of the White House. And then the same people, and look, it's like you have all of them, don't even ask what was going on in the middle picture there for those of you that don't remember, but like all of these people, those are, I think those are all men. Everyone in that picture is a man pretending to be a woman except the one in the middle. And again, we don't have to get into what he was doing there in the House chambers. So it's like, maybe that was a mockery. And the guy on the right, the bald headed guy upper right, he turned, he was also a thief.

39:17He was literally stealing women. He was in charge, what was his job? He was in charge of like nuclear waste or something. Find out what his job was, that guy. And he was stealing bags at airports. He was stealing women's bags at airports and then wearing their outfits. And some woman found him wearing her kimono and was like, that's my kimono. His name is Sam Brinton and what was his job? He was the nuclear... Nuclear official. Nuclear senior department. Senior Department of Energy, some kind of nuclear official. And he was a guy dressing as a woman, stealing other women's bags and wearing their kimonos.

39:54I should be wearing a kimono for a couple of days. It would be easier than putting on this shirt. All right, guys, one more ad, and then we've got the big finish. You know, the government, big tech and data brokers collect an enormous amount of personal information, and it's not just a privacy concern anymore. Just a couple of months ago, a massive cyber attack exposed social security numbers, medical records, and home addresses for millions of Americans. The reality is that people search sites that can legally collect your name, address, and phone number, and even information about your relatives and sell it to anyone willing to pay.

40:23That's how people end up dealing with identity theft, scams, phishing attacks, harassment, and doxing. That's why services like Delete.me have become so important. Delete.me is a hands-free service that removes your personal information from hundreds of data broker and people search sites, making it much harder for your data to fall into the wrong hands. They've been leaders in privacy protection for over 15 years, use their own technology, verify information before submitting removal requests, and even provide access to real human privacy advisors when you need help. Delete.me was also recently named number one data removal service by Wirecutter.

I told the guys I didn't know how long I was gonna be able to sit here and I'm definitely gonna scream when I move my arm in a second. I thought we'd end today with a little positivity about America. But before we get to that, you know, there's a lot of things happening right now. America's rolling into its 250. We seemingly are wrapping up this war.

41:26The World Cup is now happening. And as an American, you really should be rooting for America. Now, if you happen to have family in another country or you came from another country, let's say you're Italian-American and Italy is playing, can you root for Italy too? Of course. And is it that bad if you wanted Italy to beat America? It's not the worst thing in the world, right? Everyone has their own personal ethnic attachments and all those things. And America has a weird position in this because we are a melting pot. So you're supposed to bring all that stuff over, but to be American is unique and special.

42:00And that's why there's no country that I would root for more than America in any of these things, right? However, I thought this was kind of interesting. Here are two New York representatives, Adriano Espiot and Darialzi Chevalier being asked who they're rooting for in the World Cup. World Cup is here, the first match this weekend at MetLife Stadium taking place in New Jersey, even though some people say it is technically New York, but what do you think will win it all? Who are you rooting for? I like Mexico. Mexico, there you go. I'm rooting for Senegal. Senegal, okay. I'm rooting for Senegal.

42:35Okay, I'm not telling you that's the worst thing in the world, except to the backdrop of everything happening in this country and a movement to upend this country and upend our founding and shift us into a communist socialist state and everything else. What if a Democrat just wouldn't do it? I'm rooting for America. No, Mexico, Senegal, it doesn't matter what country it is. And ironically, because we are hosting it, the World Cup, well, here's how a lot of the foreigners who are visiting America feel about America. I cannot speak English, but I'm excited! We don't have this kind of stadiums in Europe, no way.

43:15And it's air-conditioned, it's very good. Texas is good, everything is big. Yeah, America's good guys, and when people come here they love it. And it's why all the people who hate it never leave and everything else, including, this is just from a couple days ago, but man has this guy just ruined his legacy. I can barely watch the meet the Fockers anymore. Or, yeah, it's De Niro. And listen to this dribble. The phrase we all love our country stuck in my throat because our country isn't so lovable right now. I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser.

43:57I can't love a country that's led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant.

44:08And let me just say it, I can't love the country that's led by Donald Trump.

44:17I almost was going to really hurt myself when I was about to do my clapping seals thing. Like, oh, you're so original. Yes, he's racist and xenophobic. We're so tired of this. And these people, they think they're so edgy. Oh my God, Robert De Niro has been so abused by America. He's been so let down by America that he's only worth$500 million. That is the type of abuse that I would be willing to put up with, to be quite honest. But instead of ending on that, I would like to end, we've played a lot of videos of this guy. I really, I think he's great. I'm looking forward to getting him on the show.

44:47Alex Karp, who's the CEO of Palantir, was on Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday night and he had the exclusive interview slot. And Bill asked him about American greatness. You're not afraid to say America is still the good guys, even though we've done horrible things. Everybody has. We're healing. But have a little perspective. I feel like that is what is so lacking today. Well, look, of course, America, like every great nation, has done some really f***ed up things. Right. Right. So that's obvious. Right. But look, but we know they're messed up because we hold ourselves to a high standard. And if you're going to compare us, which at the end of the day, morality has to be slightly compared.

45:25You're going to compare us to China, Russia, Iran. Who else even aspires to these standards? And by the way, look at how our lives have changed. We're roughly the same age. When I was born, people had gays, blacks. People didn't have the rights you have now. Look at the progress we've made. It's like in one lifetime, it's like magic. It's amazing. It's literally like magic. And no other society. I spent half my life in Germany. It's a very interesting, very developed society. You do not have the integration, you do not have the innovation, you do not have the fairness, you don't have meritocracy.

46:02Most of the companies in Germany that are big are owned by families that owned them 50, 100 years earlier. This is one country that produces this. Part of the problem and part of the reason why people don't stand up for America is they don't understand how magical it is to get these things to work. And no other place does it at our scale. Man, I love that, and we need more of that. I should correct myself, that wasn't from this weekend on Real Time, it was from a couple months ago, but I saw it over the weekend and I was like, that's what we should end the show on, because we better start realizing how magical this thing is.

46:33Like, we are being attacked every which way right now. And even yesterday, I saw some people on the right going after Trump or on the Iran deal, and I was like, you know what? I'm just not gonna do it right now. Like, I don't know how great it will turn out, I don't. I don't know if we're gonna get all the things we wanted or what will happen post-Trump or anything else. but like we need all of us that love this thing, that realize how freaking magical it is. As Karp said right there, we better find ourselves on the same side. We better let go of some of this stuff and we better realize how special it is or we will give it away and we will only be four months from now from giving it away and that would be a problem.

47:10Ladies and gentlemen, I have completed a show with my arm on this thing. It's like calcified right now. I'm gonna try to move it. Where are you? Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay. Oh, oh, that's not good. You can't quite see it here, but there's a big S. It's just disconnected there. I was gonna put two googly eyes on it. We should have done that. And it could have been, you're a Democrat, you son of a bitch, like the Sinbad. All right, we'll do a quick post-game show, but I thank you guys for watching. Hopefully I'll keep healing up and we can get back to this in a little bit, Thanks for watching everybody.
